Never got a reply from them this week even though they said they would. I ended up calling my CC company for a chargeback on BlueBonnet.

Just sharing another data point. I also received a Ryan London open bottom case for the 17 Pro that is poorly aligned around the camera plateau.

On the front of the phone, the lip around the screen is taller towards the top of the phone relative to the bottom. I don't know if this is a design decision or also a production issue.

Otherwise, it weighs 34g, has rounded edges, and is comfortable.

Definitely looks like an issue with production. I hope they rectify this because the look of this case in particular is one of the best.
 
I also have a problem with the magsafe on mine, it doesnt seem no where near as strong as my other cases from them. All they said was it’s not designed to be used bit a magsafe car holder? Not an ideal answer. Has anyone else got a weak magnet on their open bottom RL case?
 
Just got my 2 ryan london black and saddle brown open bottom cases. They arent like super perfect but they are fine for the most part. I need to test out magsafe.

I'd say my current only complaint is the buttons are those generic metal ones that kind of stick out. This is one area where the Bullstrap is preferred.

Can you post some pictures?
 
Actually think i’m going to return them or replaced. Like theres a few too many issues that are annoying me enough to bother me, mainly fitment when putting them on they seem to constantly shift while in the case.
 
I just got my bluebonnet case. Absolutely infuriating with the wait time but man, it’s a fantastic case. Smells great, fits perfectly, no button issues. Really sharp and hits every box I was looking for.
Yeah I got mine too.

The leather feels amazing, camera control button is solid with no wiggle at all. The leather is tight and tough, just the way I wanted it to be and the pictures on the website are accurate. This is a great leather case, much much better than Lonli Edition. I can accurately say that it does feel like the original apple leather case I had with my iPhone X.

But that shipping mess, they should have stopped all orders earlier instead of that stupid “2 left” crap.
 
Never had a leather case before, want to give it a try. Which one would you recommend that is available from Amazon? Wiiuka looks like the best variant right now 🙂
 
It has started to patina, getting darker. Fit wise, it very snug, takes some effort to get it off. Texture is grippy. The color is very rich and sometimes looks really dark green. Looks different in different lighting. This is by far the best leather case I have gotten.
